>”Babies who we thought could never survive at 22 or 23 weeks now survive about 30 percent of the time without problems,”
What happens to the other 70 percent and who pays the hundreds of thousands of dollars for premature medical bills?
About 1/3 don’t make it, 1/3 have one or more serious issues, and 1/3 minor issues. At least that is what the NICU doctor told me at 2 in the morning when my wife went into labor at 25 weeks.
I’m glad I had good insurance with my company.
